That's what friends are for

This weekend I helped throw a shower for one of my "bestest" friends who's about to have a baby! It's her first and she's having a little girl. I'm so excited for them and I know they're going to make such great parents. And I love showers because it gives us girls an excuse to go back home and see each other and all our moms. I think I'm lucky to have friends that have been around for so long and that I know will be around 50 years from now. I was joking at the shower that before we know it we'll be back , probably at the same place, hosting wedding and baby showers for all of our kids. Ok, I know we have a while until that happens....but it makes me happy to think back on all the special times in our lives that we've shared with each other. That's what good friends do, they're there to celebrate the great times with you, and they're there to walk with you through the rough times, never turning their back on you. No matter how far apart we live, or how long we go without seeing each other, as soon as we get together it's just like we were in junior high again, giggling and talking so loud and sharing inside jokes. It's so fun...and we had fun this weekend too. And I must admit, I had a little bit of baby envy looking at all the fun baby stuff (don't worry.....just a little bit : ) And I can't wait to meet little Allie. She's going to make such a great addition to our 2nd generation of little White Hall babies!
